Windows Media Player

Hi. I've only had my mac a moth opr so but am already starting to fing Windows Media Player to be almost unusable. Videos take forever to buffer and i can't even seem to fast forward along the video etc etc. Therefore, is there any other player that will play the WMV format, and does a better job than WMP?

VLC .7 does a fairly decent job with WMV and ASF, although fast forwarding gives a weird "inverted" color for a few frames and then reverts to normal. Far more usable than WMP.
